More mulling about swaybars

["Ben Channard" <zeroid@hotmail.com>]

	Spent some time at the junkyard looking under cars to check out their 
swaybar set ups.  I noticed that quite a few cars have the bars mounted 
ahead of the end links, usually to the front cross member.  The Ford Escort 
GT circa late '80's/early 90's had a unexpectedly huge bar (30mm?) attached 
this way.  I think Dick Wong mentioned a GMP? bar that used this 
arrangement.  It looks to be easier to clear a path to the control arms but 
seems like it would really apply serious twist to an  already stressed front 
end and that it's throwing weight further forward.  Are there real 
advantages to this way of mounting the front anti-roll bar?

	Thinking some more about the Cheapass rear bar and was wondering about the 
possibility of using leaf spring material.  It's made to be springy and 
seems to be available in various sizes.  But I don't know it it's stiff 
enough (could stack two) or easy to harvest.  Anyway, just throwing out 
ideas.  benton----
